The STaR Chart is a tool used to assess a school's progress towards Texas's long-range technology plan. It evaluates four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership/Administration, and Infrastructure. Oates Elementary's 2008-2009 STaR Chart data shows they are developing in Teaching and Learning and Educator Preparation, and advanced in Leadership/Administration and Infrastructure, but not yet at the target level in any area. Their next steps are to survey teachers' technology needs and set up professional development to make continuous progress.
